So I've already asked about this once in the DO forum, but i want to get an answer as it pertains to podiatry school.
Do podiatry schools care about undergrad course load? Although I'm reasonably happy with my stats (below), I haven't exactly demonstrated an extremely difficult course loads throughout undergrad. The things I am most concerned about are the facts that during my post-bacc, although I completed it with a 4.0, I didn't really do a whole lot besides school. I didn't have a job, and I only shadowed for a few months toward the end. Now that I have completed my post-bacc I am focusing on the mcat and nothing else. Is this lack of extracurriculars going to look bad to pod schools?
My stats are 3.17 sGPA, 3.41 cGPA, and I'm expecting between a 25-30 when I take the MCAT next month. I have several hundred volunteering and shadowing hours (including with a pod), decent LORs (as far as I know), and a very strong upward trend.
Thanks everyone!
